LET ME IN

Edit: It took 3 hours but Steam servers are stable now, I finally bought it. See you on the other side

    Damn, I thought all the jokes about breaking Steam Servers were just being hyperbolic. I applaud them though, I couldn’t get into the game but this is a huge milestone

      I wanted to love the original, I did love the style and the gameplay, but the hardcore mechanics were just too much for me, they need to give us a “I have a job and a family” mode lmao.

        I’m about 3 hours in and the benches are far more generous than in the first game. Also corpse runs aren’t required; you just lose your money.

        I just couldn’t get into the gameplay. Which sucks since it’s such a pivotal mechanic. I think a easier mode though would definitely let me go through and appreciate the game a little more though

        That’s how it always was. In fact, you can run away from a lot of boss battles this timeIf you want “I have a family” mode?

        Grind though it a few minutes at a time and build your skills. Otherwise, this game just isn’t for you, watch a playthrough

      Yeah, this was one of those games that I could see the craftsmanship but just wasn’t for me.

      But strong follow up to a much beloved original IP for a very reasonable price? That borderline shadow dropped? Love it, yall enjoy your suprise Christmas and go nuts. Cool as hell.

        Shadow dropped?? I’ve been looking forward to it since like… February?, when we got real confirmation. We’ve been tracking this for years

        But I do appreciate you appreciating our day. It doesn’t have to be your thing, but it’s very cool of you to cheer us on. Today has been a big win for a lot of people, and I invite you to celebrate this as a win for gaming in general

          Ah, I thought the date was announced like two weeks ago. My mistake.

          But in any event hope you get some good time in with it this weekend. When the vibe is that unique there’s nothing like a second helping done right.

            Ah yeah they finished up a couple weeks ago and gave a hard date, but it’s been listed as fall 2025 since around whenever Nintendo announced the switch 2
